Have you ever felt a ringing in your ears? Ever had your ears pop right after? That means a demon is nearby. No matter, wherever demons appear a member of the Divine Caste, also known as Slayers, is close behind. Let the Slayers handle the demon and run, don’t walk, run away as fast as possible!

Don’t believe in demons? That’s all right too. I’m sure that oozy, black tentacled thing drawing you in was just a dog, yes, a dog. Thankfully for those of us who do believe, or perhaps have the Divine Gift of Occulus in us, we can see the truth.

Join the two oldest Bernhard brothers, Braconis and Rygel, as they learn to harness their gifts and join their family in the ongoing fight to protect this planet from the Dark beings seeping in. Battle with demons, meet one of the last Gideonites, and fight off a Slecht, all while trying to pass the Witch Prince’s math class, who also happens to be their cursed 11th great uncle.

Rio L. Barney has a bachelor’s degree in aviation science from Utah Valley University. Although she was classically trained as a pilot, she worked for years as a firefighter and an EMT. While spending most of her life in dangerous professions, she decided to take on the most dangerous job of all—raising children! Rio is willing to seek out new life and new civilizations and to boldly go just about anywhere, that is, until 7 pm or so. She spends her free time writing and trying to grow a veritable Garden of Eden, except in the desert and on water restrictions. Rio now resides in the land of her ancestors, Utah.
